Imprecise excision of P{GawB}NP3499 (located ~400bp upstream of the first Rae1 exon) generates an approximate 900bp deletion ranging from just before the first exon of Rae1 (including almost the entire Rae1 promoter) to the end of adjacent pirk.
NMJ bouton (with Df(2R)XE-2900)
synapse (with Df(2R)XE-2900)
Rae1EX28 mutants survive until the second instar larval stage. The mutant larvae start wandering with a body size close to second instar. They continue to wander for several days without a further increase in their body size and eventually die before pupation.
Rae1EX28 and Rae1EX28/Df(2R)XE-2900 mutant neuromuscular junctions exhibit synaptic terminal overgrowth and decreased bouton size in synapses on muscle 6/7. The average muscle size in these mutants appears similar to controls.

Rae1[+]/Rae1EX28 is an enhancer of embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction phenotype of hiwND51
Rae1[+]/Rae1EX28 is an enhancer of NMJ bouton phenotype of hiwND51
A wnd3 background suppresses the bouton number increase and the reduction in bouton size seen in Rae1EX28 mutants.
Presynaptic expression of hiwScer\UAS.W.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 fails to rescue the bouton number increase found in Rae1EX28 mutant synapses.
An Atg13 heterozygous background dominantly suppresses the increase in bouton number seen in Rae1EX28 homozygous mutant neuromuscular junction.
An Atg2EP3697 heterozygous background dominantly suppresses the increase in bouton number seen in Rae1EX28 homozygous mutant neuromuscular junction.
An Atg18KG03090 heterozygous background dominantly suppresses the increase in bouton number seen in Rae1EX28 homozygous mutant neuromuscular junction.
Rae1EX28 is rescued by Scer\GAL4elav-C155/Rae1UAS.Tag:TAP
